As has been previously discussed, we have been focussing on the stability and reliability of the SmartThings platform recently. The ability for developers to create their own solutions by authoring SmartApps and Device Handlers is also of utmost importance to us. Since all SmartApps and Device Handl…

[image] April: Device Handler API Execution The same limits and handling of SmartApp API execution limits applies to Device Handlers that expose web APIs using the mapping definition. I didn’t know Device Handlers are exposing any web APIs. Could someone point me to documentation for that?

Device handlers can expose endpoints via a mappings block like SmartApps. The SmartApp Web Services guide applies to device handlers as well, in that they can define a mappings block to expose endpoints. It’s not clearly documented that this applies to device handlers, or why you would need to do t…

OAuth is for authentication, not API calls. You don’t need OAuth to make web calls. It makes perfect sense for them to also rate limit that.

Authentication can be done elsewhere and passed to the handler or not at all.

No. There is no documentation currently for specifically using the mappings in a device handler. We are aware of that gap and it is in our documentation backlog to address.

Can I make a virtual device that has an oAuth REST endpoint?
